So i was reading my google news jejeli this morning,na so i refreshed the page to my surprise almost all the news papers in the world started written about Luis van gaals sack and suddenly another news popped up that Man united stock has increased in the New York stock exchange market because of news of Luis Van Gaals sack.
Then i asked a friend why people are very sure luis van gaal would be sacked today to the extend that some news paper were creating a live blog for it since the fake news has been making round since december
Then he told me it was simply because BBC and skynews Reported it,that any news from those two sources is always 90 percent accurate.
so i want to ask

Do we have a credible news source in NIGERIA?

Umm Nairaland..hahahaha

It brings all the sources together and leaves you to separate the chaff from the wheat.

Nairaland news are mostly personal opinion or hearsay but you are right about bringing all the sources together

Channels and saharareporters, are the most reliable.
Sunnews and the nations are the most biased.

50 percent of sahara reporters news are accurate,they rely solely on insiders in government agencies,you are right about channels,they are one of the best but i believe in Tribune and Vanguard

There is nothing wrong with vanguard they have a very high reputation,the sun is a Pro igbo news paper

Yeah. Correct.
There is a difference between the Topics as News and Posts on personal opinions.

News is usually picked from various media and referenced. If they are not people ask for the source or "sauce". After the news, people then post their personal opinions on the matter.

On the other hand topics like "Why do Ibos want Biafra" are personal opinions followed by more personal opinions.

Vanguard get issues oo bros.
They are pro PDP, everyone knows that, they only try to cover up sometimes.

Only eye witness accounts is reliable in Nigeria.

They will switch to APC within the next few months,maybe PDP campaign fund is still at work

Channels will solve all your problems. They don't report without confirmation

Channels only disseminates less than 10 percent of Nigerias News,you will need other sources couple with linda ikeji blog to get the complete news

Osun Defender .

I tell you

Alaroye new paper

I give it to Channels,
there coverage might be limited, but they are unbiased.
forget sun , the are more of a storybook, and there is no difference btw vanguard and a blog.

Kyase:
Channels and saharareporters, are the most reliable.
Sunnews and the nations are the most biased.

Nope Vanguard holds that title, Nation is its young bros.

Sometimes i wonder if Vanguard doesn't have editors.. Inflammatory headlines and divisive contents..

The cable is ok too...

Can see you've changed your signature, is it now getting serious.

Updates like how? They can't manufacture news now.

I'd rather quality that is few and far between than just churning out OP-EDs disguised as News...

Vanguard is but in its comment section lives the very evil & horrific.... I wonder how some people live with themselves..

Box..

I don't think the question is about being biased but one with more reliable news of things that are about to happen.
I won't give it to any tv station or radio.
I think my 3best are all online media, namely; Premium Times, Sahara Reporters and Cable. Others tell us things you can also think of if you meditate well.

I don't care what anyone has to say, for me it is Vanguard, naij.com, radio-Biafra, and thisday newspaper. These are the most unbiased sources to me.

I was expecting somebody to mention the nation and osun defender.

modath:

I see boxes

You mentioned all the clueless news papers in Nigeria,We have seen sahara reporters apologizing to Nigerians several times for hiring fake news,premium times always hire second hand news ,the cable is not popular

the question asked by the op is on who give anticipated correct news about events in the country. I can't really think of any other.
your words apologizing several times, I don't really get that, can you point out 3occasions?
pt hire* 2nd hand news? in what way?
it's not a popularity contest but reliability.
*what do you mean by that, you used it twice, is that a jargon in journalism?

i think is only thisday that can give up to 60 percent acuracy in news in nigeria the rest are
pro pdp or pro apc even chanels will not like to broadcast news if the news is very damaging
to APC image

Op Guardian, and vanguard are the best. Foreign news outfits do quote the sometimes

most biased are saharareporters and the nations
